NBA (National Basketball Association) betting is a popular form of sports betting where fans and enthusiasts can place wagers on the outcome of a game or various aspects of the game.

NBA betting involves various types of bets that one can place, such as moneyline, spread, over/under, and player props.

In this blog, we will explore these betting types and how the odds work in NBA betting.

Moneyline Bets

A moneyline bet is a straightforward form of betting where a bettor places a wager on which team will win the game. In NBA betting, the odds are usually presented in American format. For example, a team might have odds of -120, which means the bettor would need to risk $120 to win $100. On the other hand, a team with odds of +140 would mean that the bettor would win $140 if they risked $100 on that team. The team with the minus sign is considered the favorite, while the team with the plus sign is the underdog.

Spread Bets

Spread bets, also known as point spread bets, are a popular form of NBA betting where the bettor wagers on the margin of victory of a team. The spread represents a point value that is added to the underdog’s final score or subtracted from the favorite’s final score.

For example, if the spread is -6.5 (minus [-] represents favourite) for the Los Angeles Lakers and +6.5 (plus [+] represents underdog) for the New York Knicks, the Lakers must win by at least seven points for a bet on them to win. Conversely, a bet on the Knicks would be a winning bet if they either win the game or lose by six points or less.

Over/Under Bets

Over/under bets, also known as totals bets, are wagers on the total number of points scored by both teams in an NBA game. The sportsbook sets a total, and the bettor can choose whether the total number of points scored in the game will be over or under that total.

For example, if the total is set at 215.5, a bettor who wagers on the Over would need the total points scored in the game to be 216 or more for the bet to win. If the total points scored by both teams is below 216, the bettor who wagers on the Under would win the bet.

Player Props

Player props are wagers on individual player performances in an NBA game. These bets can be on the number of points, rebounds, assists, or other statistics a player will achieve during the game. The odds for player props are typically presented in decimal format.

For example, if the odds for a player to score over 25.5 points are 1.75, a bettor would win $1.75 for every $1 wagered if the player scores 26 or more points.

Parlay NBA Bets

An NBA Betting parlay is a type of bet where a bettor combines multiple wagers into a single bet to increase their potential payout. To win a parlay bet, all of the individual wagers within the bet must be correct.

For example, a bettor might place a parlay bet that includes the moneyline for the Los Angeles Lakers to win, the spread for the Golden State Warriors, and the over/under for the total points scored in the Boston Celtics versus Philadelphia 76ers game.

If all three of these individual bets are correct, the bettor would win the parlay bet and receive a larger payout than if they had placed each bet individually.

However, if any one of the individual bets within the parlay is incorrect, the entire parlay bet is considered a loss.

Parlay bets can be an exciting way to increase the potential payout for a bettor, but they also carry a higher risk than individual bets.

NBA Same Game Parlay

An NBA same game parlay is a type of bet where a bettor combines multiple wagers within a single NBA game to increase their potential payout. Same game parlays must include at least two individual wagers, such as a moneyline bet and an over/under bet, both for the same game.

For example, a bettor might place a same game parlay that includes a moneyline bet on the Brooklyn Nets to win, a point spread bet on the Nets to cover, and an over/under bet on the total points scored in the game. It could also been be a bet on a player prop.

If all of these individual bets are correct, the bettor would win the same game parlay and receive a larger payout than if they had placed each bet individually.

Same game parlays offer bettors a unique opportunity to combine different types of bets within a single game, increasing their potential payout while also carrying a higher risk.

Odds in American and Decimal Formats

In American format, odds are presented as either positive or negative numbers. Positive numbers represent the underdog, and negative numbers represent the favorite. The larger the negative number, the greater the favorite, and the larger the positive number, the greater the underdog.

Odds in decimal format are presented as a number that represents the total payout for a winning bet, including the initial wager. For example, odds of 1.75 mean that a winning bet of $1 would result in a total payout of $1.75, including the initial wager.

In conclusion, NBA betting offers fans and enthusiasts various types of bets that they can place on the outcome of a game or specific aspects of the game. Moneyline, spread, over/under, and player props are the most common types of NBA bets. The odds for these bets are typically presented in American format.
